Product Overview

The Cessna Citation CJ3 is an upgraded and extended version of its predecessor the Citation CJ2. Its cruise speed outdoes the CJ2 with a significantly reduced fuel burn and uses natural laminar flow wings to further its Fuel-efficiency. These wings delay the onset of flow separation longer, which significantly improves the lift-to-drag performance. The CJ3 is permitted to operate with a single pilot under U.S. registry only.

As of December 2022, 83% of the Citation CJ3 aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owner, the other 17% new. 4.4% are for sale with the majority of those (67%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale the average time on the market is 114 days.

The 100th CJ3 was delivered in November 2006. The manufacturing of the Citation CJ3 aircraft is carried out on the CJ1, CJ2, CJ3 common production line at Cessna’s manufacturing facilities in Wichita, Kansas.
